BalasHapusAn Analysis on the Grammatical Errors in the Students’ Writing
In Indonesia, English is taught as a foreign language. English generally has been learned by the students when they are basic level of education. They study English and master the fourth of language skills. Such as: listening, writing, reading and speaking. All of the skills are to be improved in the process of teaching and studying English. But, one of the skill that most difficult is writing. Writing in the first year students is taught into 5 kinds of text: recount, narrative, procedure and news item. Here the writer only used writing recount text to be analyzed.
Actually, writing needs hard thinking when the students produce word, sentence, paragraph at the same time with good English grammatical. English grammar is more complicated than Indonesian grammar. Some mistakes are made when the students do not understand about English grammar. Many of students make grammar mistakes in their studying especially in writing. But, sometimes their teacher don’t aware when they make mistakes in writing, so that, students repeat their mistake, because they don/t have correction from their teacher. Carl James (1998) said that:
“ If the learner is inclined and able to correct a fault in his or her output, it is assumed that the form he or she selected was not the one intend, and we shall say that the fault is a mistake.’’
Errors in language learning are natural. Therefore, when the teachers teach in the school, they will find many phenomena: they will find many students who have good writing and may be they will find many students who have low ability in writing English.
According to the explanation about, it is important by the teacher to give error analysis in students writing. Error analysis is an activity to identify, classify, interpreted or describe the errors made by someone in speaking or in writing.
Although errors are bad things in learning English, error analysis is advantageous for both students and teachers. For students, error analysis is needed to show them in what aspect in grammar which is difficult for them. And for teachers, it is required to evaluate themselves whether they are successful or not in teaching English.
